SUMMARY OF PROGRESS IN ANTHR( YPOLOGY IN 1891. 
By Otis T. MAson. 
The purpose of this summary is to draw attention to combined and 
organized resources, rather than to individual effort. The number of 
books, pamphlets, papers, etc., read before societies and general meet- 
ings and congresses, and of articles in current periodicals, is so great 
that it were impossible to enumerate them. Furthermore, this is not 
necessary now as formerly, since several of the organs of anthropolog- 
ical societies publish great lists, and special journals in each division 
of the subject pay great attention to bibliography. To American 
readers, particularly to those who desire to commence a course of 
anthropological studies, the following should be accessible : 
The American Anthropologist, Washington; Archiv fiir Anthropologie, 
sraunschweig; Archivio per 1 Antropologia, Firenze; Builetins de la So- 
ci¢té @ Anthropologie de Paris; Internationales Archiv fiir Ethnographie, 
Leyden; Journal of the Anthropological Institute of Great Britain and 
Treland, London; L/ Anthropologie, Paris; Mittheilungen der Anthropo- 
logischen Gesellschaft in Wien; Revue Mensuelle de V Ecole @ Anthropo- 
logie, Paris; Verhandlungen der Berliner Gesellschaft fiir Anthropologie, 
etc., Berlin; Zeitschrift Sir Ethnologie, by the same society. 
Journals of popular character which can not be neglected are: Acad- 
emy, London; The American Naturalist, New York; Athenaum, London; 
Ausland, Stuttgart; Nature, London; Popular Science Monthly, New 
York; Revue Scientifique, Paris; Science, New York. 
The address of Prof. Max Miiller, as vice-president of the section of 
anthropology in the British Association, at the meeting held in Cardiff 
in August of this year, was a review of the forty years during which he 
had taken part in this organization. In that early day there was no 
section of anthropology, the study of mankind being relegated to see- 
tion D (zodlogy and botany). In 1851 section E (geography and ethnology) 
was formed, the former, however, more and more absorbing the latter 
until 1884, when section H (anthropology) was organized. In 1847 the 
debates on ethnology were most popular, shared in by Miiller, Prichard, 
Latham, Crawford, Bunsen, Karl Meyer, Prince Lucien Bonaparte, and 
patronized by Prince Albert. In Prof, Miiller’s address, the prophecies
